Pick a factory skid up from a junk yard. They will atleast protect the tank from punctures, but I wouldn't want a ton of weight sitting on it.

All depends on how good your fab skills are. You can pretty much build anything man.

my fab skills are lousy lol

although, as soon as i move back to vegas and have a garage to work in, i plan on investing in a welder and some other tools to use with metal and kind of learning along the way.
